FOXBOROUGH — Stefon Diggs — like the rest of his teammates — ideally would have fielded questions in the Patriots locker room while donning “AFC East Champions” t-shirts and hats.
Instead, that merch will need to be packed away for at least another week after New England fell to the Bills, 35-31, on Sunday afternoon at Gillette Stadium.
New England will have a few more chances to clinch its first divisional title since 2019 moving forward this season.
Still, the optics of what played out at a snowy Gillette Stadium might have raised some level of concern for Patriots fans bracing for a fruitful playoff run.
